This carving in one of the caves at Ellora depicts a Hindu god in a dancing pose- not sure if this is Vishnu or Shiva dancing the 'tandava' (a kind of a divine war dance, each type depicting different moods of Shiva). You need a guide to explain the significance of these sculptures at Ellora. Ellora, also called Verul or Elura, is the short form of the ancient name Elloorpuram.The older form of the name has been found in ancient references such as the Baroda inscription of 812 CE which mentions 'the greatness of this edifice' and that 'this great edifice was built on a hill by Krishnaraja at Elapura', the edifice in question being the Kailasa temple. (we will get to that in a bit- see subsequent pictures in this album). In true Indian tradition, each cave is named and has a suffix Guha (Sanskrit), Lena or Leni (meaning cave in the local vernacular). Detailed notes about the Ellora caves appear elsewhere in this album. (see previous and subsequent pictures later in this album). (Ellora Caves, near Aurangabad, Maharashtra, Dec. 2022)

Sophie & I ran a 3-day wearable technology bootcamp using LilyPad Arduino for 11-13 year-olds at Aberystwyth for www.Technocamps.com - a project led by Swansea University in partnership with the Universities of Bangor, Aberystwyth and Glamorgan that inspires young people aged 11-19 to attend technology workshops on a range of computing-based topics.
I can't explain why people collect certain things. Some people collect comics, some stamps, some coins, some collect video games, or art, or cameras (and I must admit, I love my collections of video games and movies and toys and art and cameras and all those other things I obsess over).
One of my favorite movies is "Amelie" by director Jean Pierre Junet. He also directed "Delicatessen" and "The City of Lost Children", which I love, but when Amelie came out in 2001, it was a love that I can't explain. Every moment of that film I simply have immense love for. I saw it many times in the theater. I brought friends to see it.
For some reason, I became very obsessive with collecting the movie when it came out on DVD. There are certain movies I'll buy on multiple formats when they come out (vhs to Laserdisc to DVD to blu-ray; the common "upgrade"), but the second I discovered there were "deluxe" editions of Amelie released all over the world, I simply had to collect them.
Since 2001 I've slowly collected every deluxe edition of Amelie that has been released; from a European Cookie Tin edition, to a French-Canadian release, to the elusive Japanese tin edition, and, just today, a Chinese blu-ray edition just arrived to add to my collection.
Ultimately, people collect things because it brings them joy. It helps them remember a certain time, or emotion and feeling.
I felt it time to document my collection.

A chili vendor tries to explain to me about his amulet bearing the likeness of Somdet Phrachao Taksin Maharaj, who was the first and only monarch of Thonburi kingdom (1768-1782). These amulets, "King Taksin Savior of the Nation Amulet", were first issued in 1999. The red shirt is a "Red Shirt" - symbol of the movement backed by the ex-Prime Minister Thaksin (who is NO relation to King Taksin).
Queer! That's all I can conjure to explain the whole Saint George thing. OK, let's unpack this weirdness.
Start with the probability that some dude born of Greek parents in Turkey would turn out to be a Roman soldier and named George. That's out there. He was variously beheaded for his Christian beliefs or a Muslim destroyed by God in a rain of fire or he was resurrected over and over until he finally begs to die; a kind of ecclesiastical ground hog day. I think we need to slow down a tad while we retain some sense of proportion.
This statue, only a copy of a wooden original, a simulacrum, perhaps like George himself, is not in Greece where his parents were from, Turkey where he was born, Israel where he was supposedly beheaded or Libya where he rescued the king's daughter from a dragon. No, it's in Köpmantorget, the merchants' street in Gamla stan, the old town in Stockholm. It commemorates a stoush between the Swedes and the Danes with nary a whiff of the Levant about it. Odd, that.
The slaying of dragons is such a reprehensible behaviour. Why commemorate it? There are few enough dragons about and like the statues of slave masters and despots we should ask whether venerations of George should be given such high status; especially in such a culturally inappropriate context. Whether they be leafy sea dragons, water dragons, Komodo dragons or my favorites — bearded dragons — I haven't met one deserving of running through with a lance. So just stop it this minute.
Edward III of England, himself an odd-bod descendent of that French usurper, Guillame of Normandy chose George as patron for his favourite knights. These are the clowns who by force, wealth and genetic inheritance stole Britain back from the Vikings. This just gets weirder and weirder! Guillame, descended from Rollo the Viking invaded Britain so they could liberate it from, err, another Viking descendent. I think we need to call time on this silliness, don't you?
Glenn Enriquez (IRRI Security Manager) explains features of the new fire engine during the commissioning ceremonies on August 15 2007. The fire engine, formerly operated by the Modesto Fire Department in California, USA, is the latest addition to the equipment operated by the IRRI Emergency Brigade to protect the community from calamities such as fires. The engine saw action prematurely on August 8 2007 when it was the first engine to arrive at a major fire at the Institute of Plant Breeding of the University of the Philippines at Los Baňos.

I'm kidding! Honestly I don't really know what's up with German People but this might be a little helpful if you are looking for some insight.
Well, you have an application web server, index servers, content servers, and so on. Then you sit on them all.

I feel I should explain that the carpet here is the old carpet of the property I just bought and all the white bits on it are bits of scrapped wallpaper.
The camera is a Kodak Kodamatic 130 film camera form around 1924 with a ball bearing shutter that still works a treat.
